St. Pope John Paul II's Powerful Rosary Insights

Did you know St. Pope John Paul II’s love of the Rosary inspired Pope Francis to pray at least 15 mysteries every day? In 2005, he recounted participating in a 1985 Rosary led by the saint. Pope Francis said “I felt that this man, chosen to lead the Church, was following a path up to his Mother in the sky, a path set out on from his childhood. And I became aware of the density of the words of the Mother of Guadalupe to Saint Juan Diego: ‘Don’t be afraid, am I not perhaps your mother?’”

After reading these insights, excerpted from St. Pope John Paul II’s “Rosarium Virginis Mariae,” you might be inspired too!
